Gyökeres makes the same mistake as Griezmann

The Swedish international is preparing to settle down in the British capital to embrace a legendary heritage.

Viktor Gyökeres is one of the big summer attractions. Very close to joining Arsenal, the Swedish striker should engage with the London club for an amount of 73.5 million euros, bonus included, from Sporting Portugal.

Scandinavian is expected this Saturday for the traditional medical examination, before initiating a five -season contract, binding it to the Gunners until June 2030. And according to The AthletiC, the former member of Coventry intends to make an impression upon his arrival.

Gyökeres targets a legend

According to the American media, Gyökeres opted for number 14, a highly symbolic number in the history of Arsenal, directly associated with Thierry Henry, club legend and ex-owner of this jersey.

Note that the native of Stockholm had placed the vice-champion of England at the top of his list in the event of departure from Lisbon. A clear preference, despite the pronounced interest of other Premier League training courses, including Manchester United.
